WIP: SimpleRegexAclAuthorizer I extended the SimpleAclAuthorizer to support regex. In order to keep backwards compatibility, I added a prefix to the Resource name (default is "r:") to allow otherwise-valid regex patterns to be used as Resource names without applying regex matching logic. Given the criticality of this, any feedback would be _greatly_ appreciated. I had to move a bunch of stuff from private -> protected in order to maximize code reuse.
